Thank you for sharing. What can I do if I am on H4 visa, I do not qualify for financial aid. I am completing the IB diploma

You won't qualify for federal aid with an H4 visa, but you may qualify for other types of financial aid. Check out the resources for international students at the schools you're considering.

Just tell me ,how was the college it's difficult ?

If you know how to work hard it is not bad. If you don't it will be hard. Ask yourself, can I sit down and do homework for 2-3 hours a day every day. If you can do that...you should be fine.

So if I get a scholarship for a sport outside of school. Will I have to go to college for that sport or can I do a major, for example engineering, use the scholarship money and play that sport for fun in college?

Video transcript

- During my senior year in high school, I realized that being undocumented limited me from gaining financial aid from FAFSA. So I looked for outside scholarships and I think I applied to about 50 or 60, and I got, I think, 12. So that has helped me, has a gone a long way, 'cause a lot of them are renewable and they pretty much are helping me fund my college experience. And right now, putting together all my scholarship aid, I'm able to fund my whole four years of college.
